Description
Take control of a giant mech and embark on a riveting dieselpunk adventure in a vast subterranean world. Dig deep, collect minerals, upgrade smartly, unfold ancient secrets, and try not to explode! Will you save the world or vanish in the depths below?
This is the demo of Ad Fundum, a game made with passion, inspired by legends as Motherload and Dig Dug!
WARNING: the game may not work with some gamepad/browser combinations. For best experience, use mouse & keyboard
How to Play
The game requires mouse and keyboard to play.
Left-click = interact with in-game button
WASD / arrow keys = move, navigate in the menu selection
Left and Right arrow = next / back in the cutscene
Q = leave building menu, skip cutscene, pause menu
E / Enter = enter buildings / proceed to a button
Space = go to the next dialogue line / skip typing in the cutscene
Controls can be changed at any time in the settings menu.
The tutorial can be turned ON / OFF in the settings menu.
Developer Updates
Update 2.0 Demo has been released!
It includes a huge amount of bug fixes and minor improvements, but most importantly:
- The second location of the game has been added to the demo;
- Difficulty settings can be customized at any point of the game;
- A saving system has finally been implemented. Yes, it took me a year after releasing the web demo to do it :)

Sweet, this feels just like Motherload!
Thanks! That was actually my goal โ to create something that feels like Motherload, but bigger, better and more comfortable to play) Here is the link to the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2647820/Ad_Fundum/

I already love what I see, but I feel that just restricting parts to have certain stats and not some special gimmicks (and appearance) creates some limits, in actually choosing things - you might end up with a meta, in terms of building your mech, that players will inevitably fall to.
One of my suggestions, so far, is to make it so you *can* jump with legs (and get a "running start" to your vertical ascent), as to better justify the reduced weight capacity compared to the Treads.
The legs amortize falling better, so you can fall from a higher altitude without taking any damage. But I will consider adding some additional features, thanks for the suggestion!
